It feels like it’s been non-stop pattern releases the past few weeks, and Simplicity has just added their Fall collection to the sewing pattern lineup! There’s actually a lot of good looking patterns in this release, so let’s jump in! S8980 – 1950s Vintage reprint. I’m trying really hard to convince myself I don’t need … More Simplicity Patterns Fall 2019
This year Burda has announced that they will be moving to four issues of Burda Easy per year, and the fall issue is here! Honestly, I had been hoping that splitting the magazine into more issues would result into slightly more seasonal styling, but these styles are all pretty generic and almost summery. As with … More Fall 2019 Burda Easy Magazine
The year feels like it is flying by too fast, but the September Burda is already here! Personally, I don’t think I’m quite as excited as I was for August, but, this is a pretty great issue too! It’s an especially good selection of Burda Plus patterns this month, which is really exciting. There’s lots … More September 2019 BurdaStyle Magazine
Fall fashion releases are ramping up, and the new looks from McCall’s are here. This is one of those releases where I can appreciate the styles McCall’s has created, but I also really don’t feel a strong need to buy any of them. There is plenty to see in any case, so let’s jump in: … More McCall’s Fall Patterns 2019
Normally when the new Burda catalog comes out it’s a day of excitement and confetti around here, but this release has been a bit disappointing. Not because the designs are bad, but because the majority are styles we’ve already had in the magazines. Which means there really isn’t a lot I’m wanting to add to … More Burda Catalog Patterns Fall/Winter 2019
My Image is one of those sewing magazines that offers some nice basics. I really like a lot of the styles they have this year’s fall/winter selection. It was released a while ago (I think just before I left?), but you can still order it here. I usually don’t have any trouble with shipping to … More My Image Magazine Fall/Winter 2019
At this point the August Burda is probably old news to most people (my copy even arrived already!), but it’s such a good issue I really wanted to give it the full post that it deserves. I’m so excited for fall fashions this year! It’s the start of Burda’s fall offerings, so of course the … More August 2019 BurdaStyle Magazine
And, in an attempt to post something slightly relevant to what’s been happening in the sewing sphere today, let’s look at the Fall releases from Vogue! V1631 – Custom Fit. Love this dress! It reminds me very much of the Roland Mouret Galaxy Dress knock off from years back. Also interesting to note that the … More Vogue Patterns Fall 2019
Rolling along with all of the pattern releases I have missed since summer started, here is the Early Fall collection from Simplicity: S8944 – The Artful Jumper. I feel like this has been designed to appeal to the indie crowd, but it just isn’t doing it for me. I mean, it’s fine, but it isn’t … More Simplicity Patterns Early Fall 2019
I have returned! I will give a more in-depth look back at my summer adventures after I get caught up on all of the pattern releases and other posts I’ve fallen behind on the past month and a half. By now I’m sure most of the sewing sphere has moved on from this news, but … More McCall’s Patterns Early Fall 2019
